Free Toys & Online Games

Christmas is especially meaningful for children ~ that’s why every child should have a few presents on Christmas morning. In our ongoing efforts to provide sources of free and low-cost toys and gifts to our readers who need a little help in stretching their Christmas dollars during this very difficult year, here are a few suggestions:

The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots program just might be the granddaddy of all toys for kids charities: request a toy from Toys For Tots. Use the drop-down menu to select your state. All requests for toys must be made through your local campaign office.

Contact your local Christian church and ask if they have any kind of a Christmas gifts for kids programs and what you need to do to signup your kids.

“The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program provides new clothing and/or toys for children. A sponsoring company or corporation places a Christmas tree in a secure, high-pedestrian traffic area or lobby. The tree is decorated with numbered paper angel tags with the first name, age and gender of a child who will receive the gift. Contributors remove one or more tags from the tree and purchase appropriate gifts for the child or children described on the tags. The toys are then delivered to the unit and later picked up by the parent to distribute to the child/children on Christmas Day.”Contact your local Salvation Army for details on how to signup your kids (I couldn’t find any way to signup on their website). If you’re able, please pick up a tag and buy a Christmas gift for a needy child when you see an Angel Tree at your local retail store.

If you or your spouse is in prison, contact Chuck Colsen’s Prison Fellowship Ministriesto provide your child with Christmas gifts through their Angel Tree Project “…a ministry that reaches out to the children of inmates and their families with the love of Christ. It seeks to transform the lives of these families and to reconcile them to their Heavenly Father and each other. In Matthew 18:5 Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.” There are children right in your community who are among the most at-risk children in the nation. Angel Tree provides an opportunity to connect with those families and begin ministering to them at Christmas and then continue through a variety of year-round ministry opportunities.”

Here are a few online suggestions:

Print off beautifully drawn folding paper toysthat you can make yourself from the workshop of Marilyn Scott-Waters. Her site contains printable cutouts that you fold and tape or glue together. There are also several children’s picture books that you can read online.

need help with christmas toys anything you can help me with I have 3 girls 16,10,13 and my adress is 827 Timkin rd Tomball tx 77375 and my e-mail is arcoiris1812@gmail.com Thankyou and GodBless You All

single parent of 3 is asking anyone for just a little help this holiday season i work full time but it just isnt enough to make it these days. It gets very hard for me some times I feel like giving up but I know Im all my kids have and they need me but any help would sure make our holiday better.

I am a mother of a 3 year old son. We lost daddy in a tragic motorcycle accident lasat year. I was an at home mommy and loved every minute of it. Since he has passed I got my GED and started full-time in college for Medical Billing. I am barely feeding me and my son. He is so excited about christmas this year and for the second year in a row we will be without presnts. Would just love to have a truck under the tree for him this year. Anything would be great. We would be very greatful for anything new or used.

My name is Tammy, I am a wife and Mommy of four beautiful children, Rebecca 11, Alexis 7, Steven 5 and Nicholas 2.
We have had the hardest year. Struggling every day. My daughter was diagnoised with Epilepsy and my youngest son who was born with Down syndrome and still can not eat and has had surgery to try to correct this problem, The surgery was really hard for him, But thank God he is slowly improving. My husband has lost all overtime at work. Now his pay of $300.00 a week is not cutting it at all for our family of 6. We have just lost our house and have no idea where will we be for Christmas. Our van is on its last miles. Were really in a bind in every way.
The odvious is we have not a dime to our name and Christmas is around the corner.
We have tried many different thing to try to raise some money for the kids christmas, including trying to sell some of our household items, with no sucess.
I have also tried sweepstakes and giveaways.
So a friend gave me the idea to write a letter and mail it out in hopes that someone is looking to help a family this hoilday.
It breaks my heart at the thought of having to tell them the truth about Santa at such young ages. Their really good kids who have been though a lot in their short lives.
They have had a lot taken from them, to have to take Christmas from them too will just kill me and their father. We know that they will not get what they have asked for on their Christmas list, But to be able to go to the store and get them some things would be awesome.
Any help would be greatly apperciated.
Thankyou for taking the time to read my letter. Happy Hoildays and God Bless.
If you would like to help our family this season please e-mail me at Tammy1074@aol.com.

MY name is Danielle and I am the single mother of a five year old girl. About a month ago I lost my job, my so callled best friend illegally evicted us (my daughter and I) from the apartment we shared. I am currently unemployed and staying with my sister and her children. I have no income at the time and I am constantly stressing about how I am going to put presents under the tree for my girl. Please if you can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

I am a grandma of 2 girls Janessa age 4 years old and Sophie age 2. The came to live with me the beginning of this year. I need help in buying them christmas gifts. I only have a disabiality check that I get once a month and since I ge that welfare will not help me with money at all. Can someone help me with just at least one present a piece so that my grand daughters can have a christmas this year. I never ever done this I do not know where to turn to, to get help so I am reaching this away. Just for this year only and I know next year it will be a lot better. If you can please e mail me at grandma2happy@yahoo.com if you cannot I can understand may god bless you all and have a very merry christmas and a blessed new year to everyone.

I am a divorced, single father of 4 children. I lost my job due to no work and am living with my parents. I cannot afford to buy my children any toys. My ex wife will not even allow the kids to take home their gifts from me if I were even able to buy them some. I would like them to have some toys from me, their dad, to remember me when we are away from one another. At least they could play with some new toys at my parents house.

Disabled grandfather needs help with christmas gifts for 1 grandson (12)and 1 granddaughter (7). Only have S.S.D. income for rent. Anything you could do to help me put a smile on their faces would be greatly appreciated.

I am a single mother of a 8 month old baby girl. I had to flee my home of 12 years in fear of my life from my baby’s father. He literally tried to kill me after I told him I was pregnant…he totalled my car, pushed me through a wall, broke a mirror over my bed so that glass shards went everywhere, etc. I left my home, donated everything I owned to Salvation Army and relocated myself to have my child. Due to relocation I had to leave my job and have now been unemployed for over a year. I have been interviewing, but been unable to secure employment after the largest employer in the area laid off 2000 people. I just want there to be something small under the tree for my little girl’s first Christmas. A small book, or small doll…or even a card. I appreciate and thank you for reading this post and anything at all would really be appreciated.

I wrote in yesturday and I was thinking if people could just send a postcard to Addison from the town where they live, we could create a Christmas scrapbook for her. If you would like to do this I would really appreciate it. Addison Grace, 404 Indigo, SSI, GA 31522
Thank you all and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

hello my name is brandy. im in alabama . i have applied for my ssi over a year ago and still havent gotten my court date so money is very tight right now. im in need of help for christimas. i have 3 boys 7 6 2. anything would help us thanks so much and god bless christimas 2009

I only operate the blog from Thanksgiving to Chrismas, and because Christmas-related charities, etc. operate at that time as well, I’m afraid I have no new information for you other than what I have posted the last two years at Christmastime. Each year I work diligently to locate charities, online games, etc. to enhance the Celebration of Christmas for children and families. I never know who/what I will find, or who/what will find me each year.

Due to the recession, Christmas 2009 is likely going to be difficult for many of us. I myself anticipate the potential that I might get laidoff as well. Nevertheless, I will do my best to provide ideas and connections for my readers to help them have a Merry Christmas.

I wish there was more I could do for you but at this time of year, the best advice I have is to explore the options I’ve aleready listed here on Where’s Christmas?

*This is one time in my life right now that I wish I were rich or pretty well off, but alas I’m not. I have 3 disabled boys and we lost our first home 3 and a half years ago, at that time I had to place my 2 older ones in seperate facilities while the youngest has been with me since in a 1-rm. efficiency apt. here in Charlotte, N.C. . Alan,(13), Charles,(17), and William,(8), years old. …When Charles was 2, 4, 6, and 8 mos.old, he was given all 4 sets of vaccines that contained mercury. At that particular time Charles was 2-2 & 1/2 yrs.old when he was diagnoised w/severe Autism which had been linked back to his vaccines. I did have a class-action law suit w/ a reputable law firm here in Charlotte, and for some odd and reasons I do not know is that right in the middle of my particular case was dropped for no reason, and I wasn’t given any decent reason as to why, I was never given any other law firm/attorney to refer my case to, and no one was given mine. I have been trying to get somebody for years now to look into this to see if there was an actual settlement and they just pocketed the money and then sent us on our way. I had actually finished all my pre-requisists and had earned a space/spot at one of Charlotte’s finest hospitals that had a 12 mo. Surgical Technology Trainning Program, yet at the same time, Charles was diagnoised w/severe Autism, and his needs exceeded my own, yet it hurt me so much deep down inside and I knew that giving up my space/spot to the next in line was devestating for there’s only 10-12 spaces per hospital, per year. *This was to become my life’s work, our livelyhood, and I knew by giving that up I may never have another chance to earn a space in what was to be my dream job of a lifetime. My 2 older sons which includes Charles, their SSi and Medicaid goes towards their care, and William’s is based on my husband’s salary. We recieve no government assistance outside William, and we just barely scrape by. Last CHRISTMAS we only had around $20.00’s to spend on each child, and I know “GOD”, “JESUS” cares and Loves us all, but when the Pastors/Preachers sermons are about the Greatest Gift to Mankind and like/such, and I know this to be True, yet when a Family has to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Thanksgiving and there’s only a pair or two of socks, and 1 pair of shoes and or a cheap dollar tree piece of plastic for a toy; well I have to say that being Thankful for we never have kind of gets swept away and then it’s as if we were being punished for something we have/had no control over, and as to no fault of our own. There’s 10’s of thousands of Family’s/Families thats in the same shape as us w/more than 1-disabled Child in their households w/only one working parent, who at no time wants pity or folks feeling sorry for them as us, yet all we want is the same chance/chances as any normal Family who has already obtained the so-called “American Dream”, where they can sit around their supper/dinner table and each one’s asking the others how their day went, w/o one single thought that there are Families that have been split up w/no fault of their own or any such thoughts. I know the ecomony’s tight right now, yet there are Families such as ours who wants nothing from the government who uses our Precious babies as the FDA’s guinea pigs, or mice in a labortory, and fill their needles w/mercury and then they sit back and wait to see what will happen. If anyone’s intrested in helping a poor family who is not getting government assistance and doesn’t wish for the national debt to grow any bigger than it it is right now, it would be so appreciated and grateful for and to the donor. *We Thank You All For Your “PRAYERS” and Thoughts, and May “GOD” Bless Each and Every One of You, and That “He” will Continue to Do So! *We’d like to Thank You/Ya’ll in advance, and for any and all consideration that anyone may give us concerning this matter!!! ***Billy & Jackie, Alan, Charles, & Little William McPherson… ***P.S., Our phone # is: (704)605-3243… *Once again we Thank you/ya’ll!!! *The McPherson Family…

Hi! I am a single mom of two boys ages 11 and 13. In January of this year we left my husband due to domestic issues. Since leaving both of the children have had surgeries, one has has had 3 outpatient type surgeries. This required me to have to take off from work. Then everyone came down with the flu one at a time. Now I am off because my work won’t let me work with a brace on my wrist, and will find out latter this week if I will be having to take off longer or if I will need surgery, etc. The oldest is also currently in physical therapy. Things are a bit rough but I’m believing for the Lord to provide for us this year. Hopefully next year will be much better. Would appreciate anything that would be a blessing to the boys for Christmas. If you cannot help me please help someone else such as Laura listed above or someone else you may know who has suffered abuse of any kind to be able to bless their kids this Christmas. There are many individuals who are in this situation, sad to say. Thank God for those of us who found the strength to leave for the sake of our children.

A good place to look is on Craigslist.
Always look under the free column, many people start cleaning out their childrens toys and there are some nice items here especially the electronics. I found last year so many nice games being given away and families that wanted to help give these items to families in need.
There are a lot of Churches and organizations that will place ads looking for families to help.
Also place an ad there requesting help, I discovered last year many people, Churches and organizations look for families to help this way–but please be careful–never place your address public especially since you have children.
If your local newspaper allows free ads at Christmas place an ad there.

I have been searching for programs to help get my kids Christmas gifts this year but apparently I have waited too late. I was sitting here and reading all the posts and it breaks my heart. I hate to see so many people out there struggling. I wish there was a way I could help but I’m in the same boat. I am a single mother. Their good for nothing father is in jail again (I wish someone would have told me having kids can make some guys lose their minds and run away). I’m struggling with just day to day purchases, but I always try to remain positive and have done a lot of searching on the internet on ways to save money and different craft ideas as gifts.
While I was reading I have come to realize that gifts aren’t that important. I have a 4 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. Thinking back on each Christmas since my babies came into my life, they were more entertained with the boxes that the toys came in than the toys themselves. They are getting older now so thats changing a little bit but they still play with random objects more than their toys.
Just a couple thoughts though, the dollar store has some pretty cool items, as well as Target. The Target around my house has a section at the beginning of the store that has great items, mostly for $1, some $2.50. Most children just loves opening presents, its not so much whats inside….thats just what I’ve noticed with very young children, like my kids ages.
Try to keep your chin up and have faith. Remember that Christmas is not susposed to be about the presents. I know its not easy to explain that to a child and no matter what I, or anyone else says, if you’re a good parent, you want the best for your kids and will do what you can to get it for them.
Good luck!
From my home to yours, HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

God bless you Barbara, and thank you for taking the time to compose such a nice comment. You’re right about gift giving & receiving at those ages. Your kids will certainly enjoy the Christmas you provide them. Please check back. I will be posting an update in the next few days for the Wish Upon a Car program from last year. Merry Christmas!

Hello, i am requesting toys for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. I have had them in my home for two years goin on three since the youngest one burned down the house and i have not been able to have a decent Christmas since having them. I truly don’t have the money to buy present or toys for them, I would greatly appreciate have the best Christmas that a child deserves. A tree with all the trimming and present when they awake on Christmas morning. The children have been through so much things i can’t go into, they deserve so much more then what i can give them. Please help me to help them have a Blessed Christmas. I know Christmas is not just about toys, it is about Christ the Savior, and God knows we believe that. My niece who will be 18 come next March gave me her prayer request and she prayed that God would provide money for me to give her the Birthday Party that she has never had, and that God would give her and her siblings a Christmas with presents. I believe that God does answer prayers. And I pray that He answers Hers. Please help me to help them. Thank you and god bless You. If you can’t help us,please have a Blessed Christmas anyway.

May God Grant Each and Everyone who posted comments Blessings. May He grant You Favor with everyone You meet and may people go out of there way to grant You Favor. May He Bless Your Coming In and Going Out Your Lying Down and Your Rising Up. In Jesus Name.

Hello all
My name is Kasey, Last July my family of 6 including 4 children suffered a house fire and lost everything. My husband is disabled and unable to work and it takes everything I make just to pay the bills. All i want is for my children to have something for Christmas. When my local church told me just a day ago they would not be able to help our family this year i was so disappointed. I know Christmas is not all about gifts, but children do not understand this yet. I have been working and searching day and night on programs local and nationally to help for Christmas. Seems it is to late and my children will have to learn Christmas isn’t all about gifts. God Bless All and have a great Christmas.

I am interested in have in this christmas a puppie that bring the joy I used to have with the one I lost 2 years ago, since then my life is not the same i miss my schitzu puppie a lot.
If their is some one outhere with a little pupie that would like to give as a present in this christmas and give me the best christmas in the world I really appreciated.

I know what you all are going through as Christmas is going to be tight for me this year too. I told my son that some of the elves went on strike so santa doesnt have as many toys this year. I know that it isn’t exactly free, but walmart, dollar general, kmart, and family dollar have some really nice 5 dollar toys this year. Normally five dollar baby dolls are the kind that are ugly and don’t have hair in the back of their heads (lol) but I bought my nieces dolls from kmart and family dollar and they were really beautiful dolls. Walmart has 5 dollar board games for younger kids (Cootie, chutes and ladders, etc).

My name is Sonjonnia and I am currently a 0% rated; Service connected Army Veteran.

I have four children. My son Savieon 9 yrs, daughter Shar’Dez 8 yrs, daughter Shyriealle 7yrs, and son Troy 1 yrs old. I am in need of financial assistance, to pay rent and utilities. All my kids suffer from Reactive Airway Disease and require breathing treatments. My son, Savieon was the only child that was receiving SSI, but his payments stopped May 2007. I am working on trying to apply for all my kids to receive SSI. Also, if you know of any agencies that assist with obtaining a car.

I really need a car to obtain work. There is no bus system or other means of transportation. I live in a small rural area. If you know anyone, agency, organization, or company that helps obtain a free donated car, please let me know. I would greatly and sincerly appreciate this.

I am experiencing financial hardship due to (unemployment, serious health problems involving my family and me, and not receiving court ordered child support in a timely manner).. May 2, 2009 my car was hit by a woman high on drugs. My car was totaled. I did not receive funds back, due to the car having a lien hold, so the car lot got this. I have been homebound since then.

I have fallen behind on my payments because my income has dropped considerably, these past few months. My only income was my GI Bill which ceased September 27, 2009. Due to the school semester period ending. It will expire August 2010.

Due to my unemployment I will not be able to provide Christmas for my children as well. I‘d greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter from your agency or if you know of agency that can help.

Hello my name is Denisse Zapata and i am a volunteer at Jacob’s Ladder which is a summer camp and after school program for special needs kids & teens in Lawrenceville, Ga. I love volunteering there and am trying to help as much as i can with their struggles in helping these kids. We’re trying to get funds and donations for our kids with foods, clothings, materials, supplies, furniture or anything that’s possible for our kids’ new home. Any donations are acceptable for our kids needs. Please if you can help us in anything we’ll be more than happy & appreciative with your help. I’ve never worked with special needs kids until now and im here helping them with all my heart to give these kids an education & a place where they can come and share new things with others. We’re trying to build an education and find out what our kids enjoy doing for us to build classes for them. Hope you guys can help us provide for our kids. Thank you so much and god bless.

I only operate the blog from Thanksgiving to Chrismas, and because Christmas-related charities, etc. operate at that time as well, I’m afraid I have no new information for you other than what I have posted the last two years at Christmastime. Each year I work diligently to locate charities, online games, etc. to enhance the Celebration of Christmas for children and families.

Due to the recession, 2010 is likely going to be another difficult Christmas for many of us. I was laidoff on Friday, myself. Nevertheless, I will do my best to provide ideas and connections for my readers to help them have a Merry Christmas.

I wish there was more I could do for you but at this time of year, the best advice I have is to explore the options I’ve aleready listed here on Where’s Christmas?

Hello. I am a little humiliated having to “ask” for help, being that we are usually doating! My husband abandoned our two daughters, and myself … and we are forced to reside with my elderly and disabled parents (in their 80’s, even though I am only 31.) I just don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel for my 3 and 5 year old girls this Christmas. If anyone knows where I can turn to, as it seems all deadlines have been met for all charities, please let me know. Thank you so much! Blessings and happy holidays!

I am writing to offer some assistance to anyone in need. I to have had a rough year with a divorce and loosing my job and not being able to find any employment to support myself and my two children. I know exactly how it feels to be in the rough spot around Christmas and wonder how everything is going to work out. I have an amazing family and group of friends that have helped me thru these rough times and I just want to help someone else out and maybe brighten their day or bring a smile to their face for a change. My children have an abundance of toys that may be used but each and everyone of them were used with love and are still in need of more play time. I have a girl who is four and a boy who will turn 2 on Dec. 31st. I have babyboy clothes from newborn all the way up to 18 months and girls clothing from 2T-4T. They are not brand new but well taken care of and hopefully something that can help. Please reply to this if you may be able to use any of these items to make the kids Christmas a little brighter. I wish I could do more but any questions, please ask, I may be able to help. Thank you all and I am sending you wishes for a Very Merry Christmas!
